My mum does not like ballet but i love it

my mom hates ballet the girls are mean and make fun of people. and she thinks ballet is only for super tall and Super skinny girls. I know it looks better on them but short semi-skinny people can so it too. she thinks I should not do it I am 5 foot 4...

inches and weigh 118. 14 years old and fairly flexible. do you think I would look good doing ballet? my lifes biggest desires are horses and ballet. how do I tell dear ol mum that this is what I want to do? I have told her like 4 times and evry time she yells at me. what should I do?

My sister is 110 5' 2".
and she a pre-pro. she's fifteen.
I've seen lots of ballerinas shorter and fatter than you. but its not all about a size and flexibility. you also have to have VERY strong legs and ankles.

the only problem I can really see is that if you're just starting now its kinda late to start the sport of ballet.

but its easy for some people and it is fun. so I think you should give it a try.
and tell your mom to at least let you try. find some nice girls at your studio for your mom to meet. and prove her wrong.:D

andyother questions, just message me.

if thats what you want to do I think you should .. try to tell your mom that your not like the other girls in that class. just tell it is some thing you really want to try

its actually not too late for you to start the sport of ballet dear.
I've been dancing since I was 6.
annd I have seen many people shorter than you.
my friend brroke started when she was 15 and she was 5' 3"
and very stocky,
but she was so beautiful when she danced. yeah she isn't tall or skinny. but she was still graceful and able to do anything that the other girls could do.
im 5;5" and thats not too short either.

did you see that girl from jamaica? the 22 year old who became known as the fastest woman in the world she won the 100 m run, and her legs weer the shortest out of EVERYONES. and she was the youngest. but she still did it.

don't let anything stop you from doing what you want. not your hieght, weight, age, or mum. if those things were able to stop people then im sure we would be missing a lot of great american heroes.

you can do anything with persistence. so keep your head up. and talk to your mum more about it.

If you feel confident enough and you like doing it, then you should give it a shot. And you dont have to be skinny and tall for it. Anybody can do whats best for them.
